“It’s been years,” she told People at the time. “We’ve used different services, different people,” adding that she began IVF treatments a decade ago. “It’s just been a very frustrating process.”
As Maria explained, she and Keven—who tied the knot in 2017 after dating for more than two decades—first began considering surrogacy in 2018. During their process, she consulted with friend Kim Kardashian, who welcomed her daughter Chicago, 5, and son Psalm, 3, with the help of surrogates, adding, “I was grateful that I had her to share and help me.”
But in 2021, the couple’s journey took an unexpected turn when their first surrogate was no longer a match medically.
